Black & Veatch Respec JV

Black & Veatch Respec JV, doing business as Black & Veatch, is a limited liability partnership providing multi-discipline architect-engineer services for cold-region infrastructure design and facility planning to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District as a prime contractor. The vendor operates under parent Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp. and competes on full-and-open (unrestricted) federal contracts with no set-aside designations across its four recent prime awards.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on arctic and cold-climate design expertise spanning all engineering disciplines. Representative work includes a $1.9 million firm fixed-price delivery order awarded April 15, 2026, for architect-engineer services to develop a design-build RFP for the EAR080 P551 Data Processing Facility at Eareckson Air Station, Alaska (ultimate completion September 6, 2028), a $542 thousand delivery order from DISA Alaska issued June 18, 2025, for technical engineering or architectural services supporting defense information systems infrastructure in the Alaska region (ultimate completion September 30, 2025), and a $249 million seven-year indefinite delivery contract awarded September 30, 2024, by the Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District providing comprehensive architect-engineer services with specialized expertise in cold regions and arctic design across facility design, engineering studies, technical reviews, construction phase services, and master planning.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska accounts for all four awards and $251.4 million in combined potential value. Black & Veatch Respec JV holds the Alaska Multi-discipline Architect-Engineer, Unrestricted with Small Business Reserve parent vehicle, with three task orders carrying $2.4 million in combined potential value. Combined potential value across all awards reaches $251.4 million, though only $1.8 million (1%) has been obligated. Activity is sparse and recent — two awards in 2024, one in 2025, one in 2026 — with one award (combined potential value $1.9 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Place of performance is Shawnee Mission, Kansas and Anchorage, Alaska, with administrative oversight at the vendor's headquarters in Leawood, Kansas.
